    <h2>
        ABOUT THE PROGRAM</h2>
    <hr />
    <p>
        1+1 Student Sponsorship is a CTEF program which aims to assist poor students with
        financial aid as well as moral support. It focuses on high school and college students
        and helps them to achieve their goals in education. The program started in 2007
        as the <a href="" target="_blank">RainEduc program</a> to support students in China,
        and merged to CTEF in 2009.
    </p>
    <h2>
        How We Work</h2>
    <hr />
    <p>
        We provide poor students with Micro Grants for up to 50% of their subsistence and
        school admission costs. We provide opportunities for donors to communicate directly
        to the sponsored students to see how they make progress in their lives and study.
        All volunteers are committed to donating their time and resources, and covering
        their own administrative cost. This means that 100% of your donation will reach
        the students.
    </p>

    <h2>
        How You Can Help</h2>
    <hr />
    <h3>
        Option 1: Pick a student and form a 1+1 sponsorship with this student.
    </h3>
    <p>
        A list of selected students and their situations will be provided at our <a href="http://ctef.org/forum/index.php?board=1.0">
            1+1 Sponsorship discussion board</a>. If you find a student you want to sponsor,
        please proceed to donate the correspondent amount via our <a href="https://ctef.donortools.com/my/funds/13252-1-1-Student-Sponsorship">
            donor tool</a>, and write down the student's name in the comment area. After
        the student receives donation, you and the student will be able to communicate directly.
        You will know how your money and care are helping them in their lives.</p>
    <h3>
        Option 2: Donate to the sponsorship program pool to join other donors.</h3>
    <p>
        If you’d rather support the sponsorship program in general, please donate via our
        <a href="https://ctef.donortools.com/my/funds/13252-1-1-Student-Sponsorship">donor tool</a>.
        Your donation will be pooled with other donors to help the students in the program.

        QUOTES FROM SUPPORTED STUDENTS</h2>
    <hr />
    <p>
        “面对家庭的苦难，我想辍学，却遭到了全家的反对。看着父母关切的期望的眼神，我只能选择求学之路，我会为此奋斗到底，来报答父母的养育之恩，报答那些善良的帮助我的人们，也尽自己的微薄之力，去帮助在困境中的人。”
        <br />
        – 钟文佳</p>
    <p>
        “我感受过黑暗将一个人的心灵活生生的吞噬的那一幕，让人感到了生命的绝望。因此，我愿成为一颗被爱心点燃的火种将爱心传递，用自己的光和热去照亮和温暖在困境中求学的孩子。”
        <br />
        –张 宇</p>

        “Teacher Yang (from RainEduc) contacted with me just a few days ago, as my father's
        health is still not so well, I have been financed by your organization once again.
        I'm very grateful for your help. This time I have received 1,500 yuan, though it
        is not enough to pay for all my tuition, it can still help a lot. In the holiday
        and weekends I still do some part-time jobs to cover&nbsp; living expenses… You
        know that university life has not come easily for me, so I will cherish it very
        much... I will do my best to help those who have same experience with me. Even though
        I haven't money now, I still try to help some senior middle school students whose
        family are poor in my hometown, I encourage them to overcome the hardship by telling
        them my experiences - never give up, strong will can defeat anything. &nbsp;In a
        word, the best answer is doing. Please trust me, I will do it.”
        <br />
        – Wang Lizong, 2nd year in university</p>
